Graham Dumpleton commented on MODPYTHON-74:
-------------------------------------------

For the record and as I have mentioned on the mailing list:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod...dscpl.com.au%3e

I don't believe that a mod_python.wsgi should be added to mod_python core pa
ckage.

The primary reason is even if that is done, people will still keep asking wh
ere they can get a copy of it which will work with older versions of mod_pyt
hon from 2.7 through 3.2. Further, changes to it will be dependent on releas
e cycles of mod_python whic
h at the moment are infrequent. The latter would be an issue where people ex
pect new wsgi optional component layers to be added based on how wsgi is evo
lving and in general if problems need to be fixed. Finally, it is an extra b
urden that the core mod_pyt
hon developers don't need, there being enough to do already.

What is needed is for someone distinct from the current mod_python developer
s to really take onwnership of it and create a project for it on SourceForge
 or elsewhere. Actual discussion of development and maintenance can still be
 done on the mod_python mai
ling lists and I am sure current mod_python developers/users would freely co
ntribute ideas on how to implement it the best way.

Most importantly, if a separate project, it can be made to work for and be a
vailable for any version of mod_python and not be constrained by release cyc
les of mod_python. That it will work for all versions of mod_python would be
 important as it will make
it most widely portable.
